Where is the USB port in the Highlander?
2 Answers
The USB port in the Highlander is located in front of the gear shift, below the display panel. The factory-provided USB is mainly used for data reading. Taking the 2020 Highlander as an example, its body dimensions are: 4890mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1715mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2790mm and a fuel tank capacity of 72.5 liters. The 2020 Highlander features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 220 PS, a maximum power of 165 kW, and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Highlander for several years, and its USB ports are mainly located in the front central area. The first-generation Highlander typically had them near the rearview mirror or under the center console, while from the second generation onward, they were moved inside the armrest or on the passenger-side control panel. I find it very convenient when charging my phone or connecting music devices, as they're right within the driver's easy reach. If you can't find the port, it might be blocked by clutter or the design could vary by model year. Remember to close the cover after use to prevent dust buildup. Although USB connections seem minor, ensuring your devices don't lose power while driving is crucial. I recommend checking the ports every six months for any looseness or wear.
